Introduction AD series balances are destined for laboratory weighing where high accuracy is required. AD6F balances are designed for precise paint weighing in automatic paint pouring process. All balances are metrologically tested - calibration or legal verification certificate on demand. Legal verification is required for balances used in some applications: direct trade, pharmaceutical prescriptions, medical and pharmaceutical analysis, goods packing and others.

6. Security rules To avoid electrical shock or damage of a balance or connected peripheral devices, it is necessary to follow the security rules below. • All repairs and necessary regulations can be made by authorised personnel only. • To avoid fire risk use a feeder of an appropriate type (supplied with a balance).
7. Preparations – working environment +33°C +18°C When choosing a location to set up the balance, remember the following rules to ensure proper working conditions and user-friendly operating: setup the balance on an even, flat surface leaving necessary room for easy access, maintain proper working temperature, avoid strong air drafts, vibrations, dust, big temperature changes and humidity over 90%, avoid locations with extreme heat radiation and electromagnetic or magnetic fields.
8. Preparing a balance to work 1. Take all content out of a package. 2. Place the balance on a stable ground not affected by mechanical vibrations and airflows. 3. Level the balance with rotating rear legs 6 so that the air bubble in water-level at the back of the balance is in the middle.
10. Operation principles 1. Weighed sample should be placed in the centre of the pan. 2. In direct sale use (d=e), make sure that zero indicator is displayed. If not, press and wait until zero indication and zero indicator appears. In other balances the key does not operate.
11. Balance checking As weight indication depends on gravitational acceleration, it is advised to check balance indication accuracy before and after series of measurement using any load with known weight. To check a balance with legal verification use calibration weight as stated in Technical Data table with valid calibration certificate.

Operation sequence: 0.00g Remove a protective mark from a calibration MENU switch at the back of a balance. CALIbr Switch to Pr ON position using small screwdriver CAL oFF (signalised on a display). Press MENU to call special functions. Press →T← CAL on to choose CALIbr and CAL on.
13. Connecting a balance to a computer or a printer The balance may send data to a computer or a printer via RS232C interface. RS232C When cooperating with a computer, the balance sends weighing result after initialising signal from a computer or after pressing key.
14. Special functions description All balances, beside basic functions like weighing and tare, are equipped with the set of additional functions. Standard set of special functions include: - pieces counting, - autozeroing, - serial port working mode setting, - serial port parameters setting, - percentage weighing, - weighing unit change (grams / carats / pounds) - prescriptions making...

18. Weigh summing (rECIPE) 0.00 g This function enable to weigh few ingredients MENU in one container and to display aggregated sum of all ingredients. The function has the following options: rECIPE -rEC oFF – leave the function and display aggregated sum of all ingredients, -rEC on –...
19. Pieces counting (PCS) 12.05 g This function enables to count identical pieces, e.g. turnbuckles or buttons. A measurement is performed in two phases: 0.00 g - first phase - single piece weight calculation on the basis of defined pieces amount (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 or 500 pieces), 23.04 g MENU...
20. Autozeroing (AUtOtAr) 0.01g MENU When AUtotAr function is activated, a balance automatically keeps zero indication if a pan is empty or if zero indication was acquired by pressing →T← key. AUtOtAr To leave the function press MENU key, then with →T←...
22. Serial port setting (rS232) 0.00g MENU The function enables to set the following transmission parameters (standard parameters underlined): - transmission speed (bAud: 1200, 4800, rS 232 9600), - the number of bits in a byte (bit: 7, 8). - parity control (PArItY: 0, 1; Odd: 0, 1), baud - network number when working in multistand computer system (when working as a single...
23. Date and time setting (dAtE) - optional This function enables to set current date and 0.00g MENU time internal balance clock enable/disable date and time on weighing result printouts. dAtE Options: - dAt oFF – deactivate date printout, - dAt on – activate date printout (using key), dAt oFF -dAt SEt –...
24. Percentage weighing (PErCEnt) This function enables to display weighing 0.00 g result as a percentage of a reference sample. 100% A measurement is performed in two phases: - first phase – weighing a reference sample, 19.07 g MENU - second phase – measuring specific sample as a percentage of the reference sample.
25. Weighing unit selection (UnIt) Use this function to choose weighing unit: 1.60g MENU - carats (1 ct= 0,2 g), - pounds (1 lb=0,454kg), UnIt - grams. The example at the left presents how to set CArAt carats as weighing unit. 8.00 26.
27. Maintenance and repairs of small defects 1. A balance should be kept clean. 2. Take care that no dirt gets between a casing and a pan. If found any, remove a pan (lift it up), remove dirt and then replace a pan. 3.
